Last week we could enjoy the open air (and free) screenings ofFantosfreakfestival celebrated in Cerdanyola del Vallès.

Like every year, the festival doesn’t stop surprising us and raising the level: concerts, premieres, Cerdanyola-made, freak stuff, directors and own production presentations. Also, we could experience the shortfilms 90º and -90º, I mean, the people in front of the screen could watch the film and read the subtitles as well as the people BEHIND the screen!

We all know that the genre of shortfilms screened in this festival are horror, fantasy, weird and paranoia stuff (which makes it great!). Moreover, the presentation between shorts are unique and funny, I specially like Los Bailongos! (even if we could speak too of Spoilerman or Garci Superstar hero)

And now it comes the part I like the most of this year (and the reason why I write this post): one of the shorts was a dance film! I was pleasantly surprised!

Cold Storage is a short that fits in the festival’s genres because of its weird point. However, how the main characters connect made this film a screendance: they had fun and showed their friendship with and through dance. Thomas Freundlich, the director of the film himself, catalogued it as a dance film in the synopsis:

“Cold Storage is a short dance film that pays homage to the virtuosic physical performances and melancholy comedy of the classic silent screen. As a lonely ice fisherman discovers his frozen prehistoric soul brother in the ice, multiple levels of time and reality blend together into a cinematic and kinetic exploration of alienation, dependency and friendship.”

I have to say that I liked it a lot and it belongs already to my favourite list. I hope you have the chance to watch it and laugh a bit with it.
